20 Under 40: Rising Business Stars

20 Under 40: Rising Business Stars

This event honors 20 nominees, under the age of 40, for excellence in their careers. Individuals are nominated by local community leaders, friends, family, and co-workers for the impactful work they are engaged in and the work they do to make Eugene and Springfield a better place.

Creative, energetic, exceptionally hardworking–they take action to get the job done. They inspire others to excellence and have demonstrated their resilience over the last two years.

These high achievers know what it takes to make our region vibrant, strong, and prosperous – and they’re just getting started! 

After a two-year hiatus, it’s time to showcase that hard work by celebrating some of our area’s best and brightest. Join us as we honor 20 incredible individuals in our community at the Annual 20 Under 40 Awards on Wednesday, April 13th, 2022.

Doors open at 5:30 pm for networking, cocktails, and light appetizers. Programming begins at 6:00 pm.
